ADHD & Learning Disorders
What is ADHD?
All parents want the best for their children and know how important it is for them to be happy and to do well at school. Research shows that between 5 to 10% of children have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The core symptoms of inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity can have a severe impact on all aspects of life for the child and the whole family.
Studies also show that most children with ADHD will continue to experience problems into adulthood. Whilst ADHD seems to affect more boys than girls in childhood, this seems to balance out by adulthood and just as many women are affected as men.
What causes ADHD?
Research shows that ADHD has a very strong genetic basis. So when a child is diagnosed with ADHD, there is a good chance that at least one of the parents will also have it. It is not clear yet exactly what causes ADHD, but research indicates that there are problems with the function of key areas of the brain involved with attention and impulse control. Brain scans that look at how the brain is working, such as QEEG, can help to localise the areas of the brain that are not working optimally (which can be different from one person with ADHD to another). This important information can be used to help guide advice and to develop personalised drug-free brain-training programs.
Brain-Training Programs for ADHD
In the past, treatment for ADHD was usually limited to medication. However, now it is generally accepted that treatment should be patient-centred and involve a range of interventions. There is no “one size fits all” approach, and we believe that everyone should be able to make an informed choice based upon the range of treatments now available. Increasingly people are looking for alternative solutions and Perth Brain Centre provides drug-free, evidence-based, personalised brain-training programs for children and adults with ADHD.

Personalised Brain-Training for ADHD
2. Training Phase
This is where change begins.
If you decide to move forward, we will be happy to organise your personalised training program based on your brain scan results and our recommendations. Our caring and supportive clinician team will guide you through your training as you begin to feel calmer, clearer and in more control.
1. Assessment Phase
We start by getting to know you. Across 3 appointments, we’ll talk through your concerns, answer any questions, safely map your brain activity using a QEEG Brain Scan, and then explain your results and recommendations in a clear, easy-to-understand way.
There’s no commitment - The Assessment Phase is about asking questions and getting answers.
3. Reassessment Phase
Once you have completed your training, we will arrange a follow-up QEEG Brain Scan and a Clinical Review with Daniel Lane. These important appointments provide opportunities to assess your overall progress, answer any questions you may have and provide any further advice or recommendations.
